You got some things backwards, Bob. Those viruses were not "viruses",
they were Microsoft (Outlook (Express)) viruses. Have you complained to
your software vendor that they are shipping a product that will send
your confidential data out into the world?
Also, using a mailing list is a privilege and not a right. I've had
additional traffic in the gigabyte (!) range because of SirCam. Thank
God (or Felix, rather) for putting the tarpit patch into my qmail
installation.

That, Bob, is *YOUR* problem with *YOUR* users. Obviously, they need
better training.

Interestingly, you still missed the "Re:", ">>" and "-- " parts. Also,
you've got a trailing blank line in every message. But that's just
nitpicking. What really pisses me off is that your message will
probably end up as the start of a new thread in the archives. Great job,
Bob. Really.
> But your argument is just silly.
Tell you what, Bob - why don't you apply your logic to the list
admin. I'd really like to see you convince him that your use of
broken software necessitates hundreds of clueful readers being
annoyed. Please go away and take this OT thread with you.
